Parenting In Youth Sport: From Research To Practice

Parents play a pivotal role in the development of young people in reaching their full potential in sport - indeed, the psychological and practical support of parents can be as vital to young athletes as the appropriate coaching and facilities. This book not only outlines the theories of parenting in youth sport, but also utilises research and examples from several countries, including the UK, US, Canada, and Australia. Parenting in Youth Sport is an essential text for students, lecturers and practitioners with an interest in youth sport, sport psychology or sport development.
